WSJ: Heard On The Wall Street -- 01/15 Blame It on Rio: Now, Analysts Must Reassess Stocks'Earnings Exposure to Brazil: sample of companies with substantial percentages of their revenue and profit in Latin America. ============================================= stock price ==============================================% change =========Companies======revenue=========profit=======this week ******Avon-Product-34%*********45%********-13% *****Colgate-Palmolive26 ************34 **********-11 *****Xerox********** 9 **********11 ********- 8 ****Revlon**********15***********12********- 7 ***Gillette*********12***********13*********+12 ***Goodyear*********15***********20**********-5 The devaluation of Brazil currency has set off the analysts to consider the reassessment of the earnings of companies like: Goodyear, Caterpillar, Avon, Revlon, Xerox, Chase and Cities Group. Goodyear has 15% of its revenue and 20% of its earnings come from Brazil and Latin America, hence the $4.5 a share earnings of Goodyear might be at risk. A nickel is deducted from the earnings of Xerox to $5.35 a share. Last year, Xerox got 11% of its earnings from Brazil. Whenever a country devalues its currency, American money center banks such as Chase and Cities Group will be affected because of its operations in Brazil. Finally two mutual funds dedicated to Brazilian stocks: Brazil Funds and Latin Discovery Fund are trading at 24% and 20% discounted of the net asset values.

YHOO - Jenna, thanks for the response. We each have our style of investing. Mine is to put a certain dollar amount into each trade, leaning a bit heavier or lighter depending on how i feel about a stock and its current price. So I have been buying fewer shares of YHOO obviously. larry

IGT: looks like a very solid stock to me. gaming industry has been lackluster, however, prospects for this slot machine mfr seem better than most. earnings due out 1/22, zack's says .33 vs. .37 for last quarter. industry slowdown and added debt may explain this small blip. seeing $1.80 earnings this yr. vs. 1.56 last. 107m shares, 95m float, 83m institutionally held. profit margins 18.5%, p/e= 16.8. 52 week hi: 28.68, low: 16 1/8, closed friday at 22.38, up .375. here's a link to a 1/15 article from smartmoney.com, with strong analyst recommendations. let me know what you think!! thanks. jeer...long time lurker:) smartmoney.com

just a tad confused Jenna.. Spending this rainey afternoon going thru your earnings plays and noticed some of them are listed as earnings plays, but no date given.. I dont want to list them here because that defeats the purpose of subsribing, but you may want to have a look at the list a bit more carefully.. Unless im going crazy, I looked it over about 3 times and a date is missing.. ...off to the threads to locate these dates... I hate down days.. my bills still need to be paid !
